I went to the gym yesterday and did OK. When I go I usually try to walk at least a mile while getting my heart rate up above 160. My previous mile was in 22.something or other minutes. Yesterday I walked the mile in 18.something or other minutes. It is not the greatest but it is better. Maybe one day I will be able to run the mile in the time I used to be able to when I was in track. Hahaha, probably not though. I used to be able to run the mile in a little under 6 minutes. Ah, to be young and pain free.
While at the PX the other day I noticed that they had Banana Clips, three for $1.00. I used to LOVE those things so I went ahead and got a pack. For a buck that is not a bad purchase. Much to my disappointment when I put my hair up with one it just slipped out. I was very upset. I even tried to not brush my hair for a couple of hours then put it back in but it still just fell out. I have noticed that now that I have stopped dying my hair and all of the hair that was previously dyed has been cut off my hair is extremely soft and sometimes difficult to keep up because it just falls out of the hair ties. I don't know if having it this soft is good or not. I know that styling it now is difficult. Oh well. I also just switched shampoo and conditioner. I tried Herbal Essence Hello Hydration and so far I do not care for it as much as I like Dove Intensive Repair. I wonder what the best shampoo and conditioner would be in my price range (cheap lol). I still have not cut or trimmed my hair since David left. He mentioned one day that my hair does not look like it has grown any since he left. I wonder if it has. He also said that because he sees me on Skype so often he probably has not noticed the change. Since then I have been wearing my hair back when I talk to him so that when he comes home he may see the difference.
Me right now, 4 a.m. :)
My hair always flips up on the end. Kinda annoying.
Just another angle.
I went back to the dentist on Thursday. I think that they secretly like to torture people and cause pain. I have another appointment with my regular dentist on the 22nd to get a filling and then I have oral surgery scheduled for March 10th. I guess I am happy that I am finally going to have my teeth fixed but I am not happy about the cost of everything (David never did ask about the Army paying for it so we have to cover what insurance doesn't) nor am I looking forward to the pain. They are actually going to be shaving bone off of my upper jaw to change the way I bite down. So far the cost has not been too much just $400. The surgery is going to be $470 initially and what the insurance does not cover I can make payments on. I know that the insurance cap is $1250 (or around there somewhere) so I will be paying more for the surgery than just the $470 but the surgeon says as long as I pay $5.00 a month if not more then I will be OK. I hope that insurance picks up most of the tab (especially since David's pay still has not been fixed). Before everything is fixed I will try to get a before picture and then an after picture, just so I can put it on here. (Maybe!)
I think that because it is now 5 a.m. I will go ahead and get my gym clothes on so that when the community center gym opens up at 6 a.m. I can go ahead and get my daily work out done and finished.
